Answer

Brief Explanations:

The stage directions show Liam looking around, running through the gate, climbing the ladder quickly while looking over his shoulder. These actions suggest he is on high - alert and worried about something. The idea of being "safe" (as Alexa says) also implies he was in a state of unease before. Anger (no indication of shouting or aggressive body language), thrill (no signs of joy in actions like jumping or laughing), or excitement (no positive body language cues like smiling widely) are not shown. Nervousness about a threat (implied by the need for safety) is the most logical emotion.

Answer:

He is nervous that something scary might get him.
